Chapter 264: Reincarnation, CSGO, Fateful Reunion (Part )
"…So, why are you here?"

Logically speaking, this almost aggressive tone should not come from someone like Jiang Botao.

But he really couldn't control his emotions.

Samsara was the only team in the entire Glory League that did not send any of its main starting players to participate in the Eternal Tribulation test.

You know, even Tyranny sent Bai Yanfei.

The reason is very simple, all actions are centered around Zhou Zekai.

Having experienced the cycle of the darkest age before Zhou Zekai joined, he knew too well what his most valuable bargaining chip was.

As long as Zhou Zekai can continue to shine and as long as a comfortable environment can be created for him, the entire club will do it without hesitation.

Therefore, when Tenghai clearly stated that they would only send players who played the Gunner class in Glory to participate,
Samsara had the audacity to send four of their main forces.

Except for Zhou Zekai who is a serious gun master, the others, Magic Sword Jiang Botao, Judo Lu Boyuan and Priest Fang Minghua, mainly play an abstract role.

You know, due to Tenghai's balance of power, apart from Samsara, no club can cram more than two people into this test.

But who told Pei Yunteng to be greedy for Zhou Zekai?

Only those who have played FPS personally know how outrageous this guy's shooting skills would be if applied to CSGO.

In the past life, there was probably only one kind of person who could possibly contend with a bug like Zhou Zekai:

You opened it first!
After checking the household registration and finding that those familiar faces from his previous life also appeared in this world, Pei Yunteng was sure of one thing:

Unless a genius more unstoppable than Zhou Zekai appears, he will have to carry the banner of CNCS for a long time in the future.

Anyway, there are not many gun-type players left in the league who have not gone to LOL to play AD, so we just accept and let Samsara fill the remaining spots.

Therefore, Jiang Botao and others gave up their original idea of ​​going to Yongjie to take a look.

I have been sharpening my skills these days and practicing with a few gun-related accounts. With my background as a professional player, my shooting skills seem to be pretty good.

So I came here in such a daze.

Jiang Botao was a little shy at first. Among a group of gun-type players, it was quite awkward for the three of them who were not from the gun-type to stand there.

But when they arrived at the test site and entered the lounge prepared for the test contestants, they discovered that there were actually masters there?
"Why? Why can't I come? Coach Wei recommended a gun-type player, but he didn't necessarily want a gun-type player."

"Besides, I have a lot of experience in transformation. At worst, I can just switch again."

Seeing everyone in Samsara looking at him with strange eyes, Sun Xiang's face turned red, but he certainly would not admit defeat.

That’s right, Sun Xiang, a guy who has almost nothing to do with FPS, has actually been thrown into the CS game to join in the fun.

Of course, the reason he came here was not because Yueyun also had a young genius in gun skills who needed his protection as a senior.

It was simply because he failed to recruit anyone.

Originally, Sun Xiang also planned to take a trip to Naraka: Bladepoint.

Although he is living a comfortable life in live streaming now, and even has signs of surpassing those veteran anchors who focus on the game.

But people always have to have some dreams, right?

Sun Xiang had only been competing in the professional league for two years, so he was naturally unwilling to completely fade out of the arena.

Otherwise, in the future people will ask him, are you a professional player?
Could it be that he also replied, I think I am?
It seems a little abstract.

But there is a small problem. Although Narration has single and double row, the focus of Tenghai’s first test was obviously on three rows.

Therefore, who to team up with became a big problem facing Sun Xiang.

Of course, Sun Xiang himself is actually not picky.

In the past, he went to Excellent Era because he longed for a better environment, but ended up breaking his leg along with Excellent Era. He was in a wheelchair for a year before he could barely use the crutch of the anchor.

After that, Sun Xiang became very indifferent to the external environment.

So at the beginning, Sun Xiang didn't worry about this problem at all.

Just form a team with Yueyun’s old teammates.

Logically speaking, the fact that Sun Xiang, who was extremely arrogant back then, can now have such a Buddhist mentality can be considered a transformation to some extent.

But the transformation doesn't seem to include his IQ.

He overlooked an extremely simple yet fatal problem.

As a small club, Yueyun has basically been in a state of semi-collapse after the collapse of Honor.

The youth training camp was disbanded, and a large number of players left. Even if there was a Glory rematch, it might not be possible to put together a six-man team.

And now, apart from Sun Xiang, there are exactly three people left in Yueyun.

And Sun Xiang didn't despise his poor buddies for being bad, but the others in Yueyun despised themselves.

In their opinion, with Brother Xiang's ability, if he were to come and lead a group of marginal people like them, they would probably only be able to hold him back.

They didn't want to delay Sun Xiang's future.

When I talked to Manager Yueyun, it turned out that he had the same idea.

It is somewhat of a waste of talent for Sun Xiang to lead the Yueyun team.

Sun Xiang's significance to Yueyun has, unknowingly, even surpassed his position as a player to a certain extent.

So the manager discussed with Sun Xiang and hoped that Sun Xiang would go out and find more outstanding players to form a team, which would also help him leave a better impression on Tencent Esports in the test match.

Sun Xiang doesn’t care, just go out and find a team.

And then... I didn’t find it.

After looking around, I found that most clubs have already formed their own teams.

As for the few that had not yet formed a complete team, when they heard that it was Sun Xiang who wanted to add one more person, they all found excuses and politely rejected Sun Xiang's request to form a team.

Little-known fact: in the past few months, thanks to his frank and somewhat funny image in the live broadcast room, Sun Xiang's reputation has improved a lot compared to the terrible time in Jia Shi.

But that is only limited to the anchor Sun Xiang.

For the management of other clubs, their impression of the player Sun Xiang still remains from the Excellent Era period.

What kind of guy was Sun Xiang during the Excellent Era period?

Arrogant, conceited, plays in a very unique way, easily gets carried away, seriously lacks tactical awareness, and is easily out of touch with teammates...

It can be said that he is a guy with a lot of problems.

For the current management, it doesn’t matter if the players are a little bit unskilled, the key is to be obedient and follow the instructions.

After all, what Tenghai values ​​most is a club with a mature system and good management.

I dare not imagine how many hidden dangers it would bring in the future if I made a fool of myself in front of Tenghai.

Sun Xiang, a guy who has caused big trouble more than once both as a player and as a host, is the most typical unstable factor.

So, Sun Xiang asked around with full confidence, but no team wanted him.

And a club of Yueyun's level could not possibly provide Sun Xiang with any connections.

Only then did he think of going back to find Yueyun's old friends to form a team, but he found that the manager had already reported it.

The two of them stared at each other, only then did they realize the seriousness of the problem.

It seems like... I've gotten out of control.

In the end, it was the manager who gave Sun Xiang a bad idea.

"Isn't there a game being tested over at Tenghai? Why don't we try our luck there?"

"But Coach Wei said that only players with a gunner-type profession can go." The honest boy Sun Xiang answered straightforwardly. "That's just a recommendation, not a guarantee. Samsara has even sent pastor Fang Minghua there. As long as you want to go, just go with confidence."

The manager, knowing that his good intentions led to bad results, could only let Sun Xiang take a gamble on this unknown new path.

After all, it's just a test. Even if we don't have the first-mover advantage, we can still make up for it in the future.

"Besides, you have a lot of experience in transformation, right?"

Sun Xiang succeeded in transforming from a Berserker to a Mage, and from a Glory All-Star to a top laner in the League of Legends national server.

Switching to FPS this time shouldn’t be a big problem?
Sun Xiang listened to the manager's advice and agreed without thinking too much.

Anyway, even if I can’t adapt, the worst that can happen is that I can continue to be my own big anchor in the future.

That's why Jiang Botao was able to find Sun Xiang doing nothing at the scene and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

However, Sun Xiang's appearance here made the other two, Samsara and others who had also changed their careers lately, feel less guilty.

Isn’t there another fellow in trouble here?

"By the way, shouldn't you be more suitable for the Eternal Tribulation next door? What are you doing here?"

The test was not yet started, Jiang Botao asked Sun Xiang in a low voice.

Sun Xiang, who was even more stubborn than Gangzi, certainly couldn't say that he came here to try his luck because no one wanted him. He just said in an unfathomable manner: "You know, I always like to challenge myself."

"In that season at Excellent Era, I once tried to transform into a battle mage."

"I heard that Next Door and Honor have many similarities. I think this is somewhat lacking in challenges."

“So I came to this relatively unfamiliar field and challenged myself!”

Sun Xiang would only talk in such a roundabout way when he wanted to brag about himself.

Jiang Botao couldn't help laughing. He didn't believe a word Sun Xiang said.

But I'm too lazy to expose it.

Just as everyone was chatting, the door of the lounge suddenly opened and a staff member strode in.

His eyes scanned the room and finally stopped at Jiang Botao and Sun Xiang who were chatting happily. He nodded slightly: "It seems like you guys are getting along well."

"It just so happens that the Samsara team has four members coming. We just need one more person to form a team. How about letting Sun Xiang fill in the fifth person?"

As soon as these words came out, the contestants present were stunned.

Except for Samsara and Sun Xiang, the other players suddenly felt a little relieved and gloating.

Originally, the other contestants had some objections to the fact that four people from Samsara were coming together.

On the one hand, although Samsara has three idiots and their proficiency may be a little bit worse, they are old teammates after all.

Tactical execution and mutual understanding are enough to make up for this gap to a certain extent and even turn it into an advantage.

After all, CS is also a brand new game, and the experience of Glory may not be applicable.

However, if Sun Xiang is added, it will be completely different.

Not to mention the four idiots in the team, but Sun Xiang was also known for his impulsiveness and selfishness when he was a player.

If he gets too excited, he can destroy most of the tactical arrangements of Samsara.

Upon hearing the staff's words, Lu Boyuan and Fang Minghua were stunned and suddenly became a little anxious.

The stereotype is there, and they are more or less afraid of the famous Sun Xiang.

Just when even Sun Xiang wanted to say forget it, Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao said in unison: "No problem, let's arrange it this way."

Seeing that the captain and the deputy captain had agreed to this matter at the same time, even if Lu Boyuan and Fang Minghua had some opinions, they would not go against their decision.

The staff left satisfied.

"Why should I agree? I thought you would dislike me too." The members of the Samsara team didn't say much, but Sun Xiang himself didn't have so many taboos.

He was very tough when others asked him about it, but sometimes he was very frank and open-minded.

He actually knows that he is not that popular in the professional circle.

Zhou Zekai was slow to speak, so Jiang Botao replied with a smile: "What's there to be disgusted with? We are old rivals. We also recognize your strength. After all, you are the best rookie and an All-Star."

"If you are affected by non-gun system, then we are not much better."

Although the five players on the opposing team are all starting players, none of them has ever won an All-Star honor.

So judging from the status alone, Sun Xiang is indeed the highest one outside of Samsara.

However, this is definitely not the reason why Jiang Botao agreed.

He just felt that Samsara couldn't go against Teng Hai at this time.

It is not worth leaving a bad impression on Tenghai’s top management just for a test match that will not be counted in future league results.

As for Zhou Zekai, he certainly didn't think as much as Jiang Botao.

He just instinctively felt that Sun Xiang might be more compatible with Samsara.

Seeing that Samsara actually showed a welcoming attitude towards his temporary joining, Sun Xiang didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long time, he whispered, "I will seriously implement your tactical arrangements."

Jiang Botao was delighted when he heard it.

Is Sun Xiang being honest?
Even if he could only behave himself for a few dozen minutes, at least it would be enough to get through this internal test.

So, perhaps it was some kind of inertia of fate that the Ultimate Reincarnation that gave the entire league a ptsd in another timeline was still formed in this life.

As for the effect, we will have to wait and see.

The contestants chatted for a while, and finally a staff member took them to the testing venue.

Pei Yunteng, who always likes to appear in person in the internal test, has naturally been waiting for a long time this time.

“Welcome all the outstanding players to participate in the internal closed beta test of the new first-person shooter competitive game, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, developed by Tenghai Studio.”

“I hope this game can leave you with unforgettable memories.”

Jiang Botao perked up and quickly took out the small notebook he carried with him and started taking notes.

According to friends who participated in the other two tests, Pei Yunteng should usually explain the basic logic of the game at this time.

He has to race against time to extract useful information from this introduction!

But when Pei Yunteng saw that he looked like a good student, he was stunned at first, then smiled:

"Although I am flattered by your attentiveness."

"But for today's game, you really don't need to take any notes."

No need to take notes? Jiang Botao was stunned.

The smile on Pei Yunteng's face gradually turned playful:

"Because this may be the most simple and straightforward shooting game you have ever played."

“Play it once and you’ll know why.”

　First update.

　　There will be more in a while.
